Hello everyone,

June Projects with Einat Kessler

Hey crafty friends, Einat Kessler here with two new layouts.

Recipe for Love

Sometimes you have a paper you really like and a photo you want to use with it but they don't always match in color. The way to resolve this is to add some color to your paper with acrylic paints or ink sprays. This is what I've done here.

Check out the video tutorial to see how I created this page.

BFS supplies used:

Paper: Sanctuary Collection
           Montage Collection
Chipboard: Recipe for Love
                   Floral Frame
                   Arrow Words

Adore

The second layout has some handmade embellishments I created from paper and two patterns of stencils. Stencils are a great way to add patterns, texture and images to the layout. I also used gesso on this layout to create the images and give accents to the embellishments, paper and title.

BFS supplies used:
Paper: Sanctuary Collection
Chipboard: Adore

Have fun creating!

"Happy" layout

For the background I used a paper from Love Story Collection. I love this kind of papers! Wonderful background to make a photo stand out. This shot was made while my kids were going crazy:) It's very difficult to take a photo with both of them, but I am trying my best.

Memories Captured by Marta Lapkowska

Hello everyone,

It's Marta Lapkowska here.

I hope you are doing great.

I am back to you with my new page and full video tutorial. 

You can see my creative process step by step.

As you ca see this is very magical page. I wanted to recreate the forest and dreamy scenry from the photo. I added some dry moss, thread to build my page.

I love the colours of Deja Vu paper collection, so soft and elegant. My favourite way of altering the chipboards is to emboss them with white embossing powder.

I hope you will enjoy my creating process. Have fun !

Mixed media on canvas, video, and two cards from Elena

Hi everyone! 

Elena Morgun here and today I have a mixed media canvas and two cards to share with you.

"Best of times"

Blue Fern chipboard is very dense that's why creating a mixed media project using it gives so much pleasure. One can cover it with water-based paints and not be afraid for damaging this chipboard.
My grandmother with her father are in the photo. Simple love this image!

Here is the canvas:

Some close-ups:

Some inspiration from Bente

Hi, today it's me Bente here to share my latest projects with you. 

I have used the most recent beautiful paper collection from Blue Fern Studios for my creations.

It's called 'Love Story' and as you can tell for yourself it's really beautiful. I loved combining these stunning patterned papers with a variety of Blue Fern Studios chipboards

 For this page I used the 12x12 Chickenwire panel and cut out a section of it for my page.
I whitewashed the chipboard with some gesso.
I even used a piece of this same panel for one of my cards. I used the smallest size  'Splattered circles' to frame my photo after using a chalk inker to colour it black.

My title is made up of a combination of a die cut word (hello) and a chipboard word, sunshine, from the Optimist Word Set.
To build up some background texture I used the tiny stars of the new stamp set 'Forever' .



Here is m,y second page. I love this pictuer of my daughter and you may have seen it before :-)

I used the Adore,Love,Cherish word set here as well as the Ironwork Arch and one of the smaller birdcages. I inked the arch black and gave the rest a lick of gold paint and then dabbed some white paint on top.



A lot of layering going on here with these gorgeous papers.



I built up the background with several layers of gesso stencils, mists and paints.



To round off this post I have a couple of feminine cards to share.



As I said earlier I used the chicken wire panel for one of the cards. For the other card I picked the lovely Ornate Frame. It's so elegant and easy to use for all kinds of projects.





I hope you can see in this picture my treatment of the frame. I spread some gesso on top with my fingers, then covered it in glue  before finally sprinkling some sparkly  'Art Sugar' on top.
It looks really pretty IRL.



That's all from me today.
Have a great week end with lots of time to be creative.
Hope to see you soon again!

Bente
